You can use something like:

$doo = file_get_contents('http://user:pass@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/secure-page.html');
echo $doo;

This should work fine if there no further interaction on secure-page.html, 
however if secure-page.html allows the user to interact with it you would 
have to intercept and interpret those interactions so that you can forward 
them appropriately.

I believe this behaviour/functionality was removed in response to the spate of 
phishing epidemics.
